Precision Pneumatic Flow Controls

Fine Pneumatic Speed Adjustment in a Compact Flow Control

NASC precision flow controls are lightweight and compact, making them suitable for fine adjustment of pneumatic actuator speed. An included lock nut allows panel-mount installation where a stable adjustment point is required.

The flow control provides one-way restriction with freer flow in the opposite direction. It is commonly used to meter exhaust from pneumatic cylinders for smoother extension or retraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a precision pneumatic flow control do?

It meters compressed-air flow so the speed of a pneumatic actuator can be adjusted accurately.

Is it the same as a needle valve?

No. The source description identifies a one-way restriction with freer reverse flow.

What is the lock nut used for?

It secures the adjustment and allows panel-mount applications.

Can it be used with double-acting cylinders?

Yes.

Can it be used with single-acting cylinders?

Yes.

What is the listed working pressure?

0–150 psi(g) / 10 bar(g).

Where is a flow control usually installed?

It is often installed at or near the actuator port, commonly to meter exhaust flow.

How do I select the correct flow control?

Match port or tube size, flow capacity, pressure, temperature and adjustment range to the actuator.
